The other real question is "Why?". I can see the motivation of people who want to use R and need to convince their management that it is safe, but inflicting R on people who haven't heard of it and are perfectly happy that way seems unnecessary. What would be the benefit?
Actually, I see it as part of my job to inflict R on people who are perfectly happy to have never heard of it. Happiness doesn't equal proficient and efficient. In some cases the proficiency of a person serves a greater good than their momentary happiness.
